Number of social media users in India 2021, by platform

Social media users were the highest across India as of February 2021 for messaging app Whatsapp, at 530 million. YouTube followed during the same time, with Facebook ranking third. The government in the country introduced new rules under its IT-law earlier that year with the aim of social media platforms self-regulating by focusing on stronger guidelines.

截至2021年2月，印度社交媒体用户人数位居首位，以5.3亿人使用消息应用WhatsApp为标志。在同一时间段内，YouTube紧随其后，而Facebook则位居第三。该国政府在当年年初根据其信息技术法律出台了新的规定，旨在通过强化指导方针，促使社交媒体平台实现自我监管。
